principal amount set forth on such Purchaser’s Signature Page and Warrants to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock set forth on the Purchaser’s Signature Page. Each Purchaser’s obligation to purchase a Note and Warrants

 2.1 Investment Purpose. Purchaser is purchasing the Notes and the Warrants for Purchaser’s own account for

therein, except pursuant to transactions that are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and/or sales registered under the Securities Act. Purchaser understands that Purchaser must bear the economic risk of this investment
indefinitely, unless the Securities are registered pursuant to the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available, and that the Company has no present intention of registering any such
Securities.

Rule 501(a) of Regulation D. 
 2.3 Reliance on Exemptions. Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and sold

 2.4 Information. The Company has made available to the Purchaser the documents publicly filed by the Company with the SEC (such documents
collectively, the “SEC Documents”). Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company, was permitted to meet with the Company’s officers and has received what the Purchaser believes to be complete and
satisfactory answers to any such inquiries. Except for the SEC Documents and the answers received by Purchaser as a result of inquiries made by Purchaser to Company officers, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Purchaser is not
relying upon any information, representations or warranties of any other party. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by Purchaser or any of its representations shall modify, amend or affect Purchaser’s
right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in ARTICLE III. Purchaser understands that Purchaser’s investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk, including, without limitation, the risks and
uncertainties disclosed in the SEC Documents.

registered thereunder or an exemption from such registration is available (which exemption the Company expressly agrees may be established as contemplated in clauses (b) and (c) of Section 5.1 hereof); (ii) any sale of such
Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”) may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of
such Securities without registration under the Securities Act under circumstances in which the seller may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the
Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder in order for such resale to be allowed and (iii) the Company is under no obligation to register such Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply
with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. 
 2.7 Legends. Purchaser understands that, subject to ARTICLE V
hereof, the certificates for the Note and Warrants, and, if the Warrants are exercised, the certificates for the Warrant Shares, until such time, if any, as the Warrant Shares have been registered under the Securities Act, may be sold by Purchaser
pursuant to Rule 144 (subject to and in accordance with the procedures specified in ARTICLE V hereof), will bear a restrictive legend (the “Legend”), which will include language in substantially the following form: 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY
STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS OFFERED, SOLD OR

the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. None of the statements made in any such SEC Documents which is
required to be updated or amended under applicable law has not been so updated or amended. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles,

thereto, is in breach or violation of any Contract, which breach or violation would have a Material Adverse Effect. No event, occurrence or condition exists which, with the lapse of time, the giving of notice, or both, could become a default by the
Company which could reasonably be expected to have a

potential claimant or governmental authority, could reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim or proceeding which, if asserted or conducted with results unfavorable to the Company could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 3.9 Tax Matters. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.9 attached hereto, the Company has timely prepared and filed all tax returns
required to have been filed by the Company with all appropriate governmental agencies and timely paid all taxes shown thereon or otherwise owed by it. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company in respect of taxes for all fiscal
periods are adequate in all material respects, and there are no material unpaid assessments against the Company nor, to the Company’s Knowledge, any basis for the assessment of any additional taxes, penalties or interest for any fiscal period

 4.2 Securities Laws; Disclosure; Press Release. The Company agrees to file a Form D with respect to the Securities with the SEC as required under
Regulation D. The Company shall, on or prior to the date of Closing, take such action as is necessary to sell the Securities to each Purchaser under applicable securities laws of the states of the United States. The Company agrees to file a
Form 8-K disclosing this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby with the SEC within four (4) business days following the date of Closing. The Company and the Placement Agent shall consult with each other in connection with the
Form 8-K disclosing this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and no Purchaser shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such

notice of such public statement or communication. 
 4.3 Reporting Status. So long as any Purchaser beneficially owns any of the
Securities but no longer than forty eight (48) months after the Closing Date, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to timely file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, and the Company shall
not voluntarily terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination. 
 4.4 Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of
issuance, not less than 656,250 of the shares of its authorized Common Stock for the issuance of 

  

 15 








 
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of all of the Warrants and the Additional Warrants (as such term is hereinafter defined). The Company shall continue to
reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue the Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants and share of Common Stock
pursuant to the exercise of the Additional Warrants.

successor entity in such transaction assumes the Company’s obligations hereunder and under the agreements and instruments entered into in connection herewith. 
 4.7 Ownership Limitation. The purchase of the Securities issuable to each Purchaser at the Closing will not result in such Purchaser (individually or together with any other person or entity with whom such
purchaser has identified, or will have identified, itself as part of a “group” in a public filing made with the SEC involving the Company’s securities) acquiring, or obtaining the right to acquire, in excess of 19.999% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock or voting power of the Company on a post-transaction basis that assumes that the Closing shall have occurred. Such Purchaser does not presently intend to, alone or together with others, make a public filing with

than two Business Days after delivering such notice to the Purchasers, issue a press release disclosing such Event of Default and take such other actions as may be necessary to 

  

 16 








 
ensure that none of the Purchasers are in the possession of material, nonpublic information as a result of receiving such notice from the Company. For
purposes of this Agreement “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banks in the City of New York are required or authorized by law to be closed. 
 4.9 Security Interests. Until each Note has been fully repaid and/or fully converted into Common Stock, the Issuer covenants with the holder
thereof that the Issuer will not: 
 4.9.1 without the prior approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), of
the holders of a majority in outstanding principal amount of the Notes (the “Required Holders)”, create any security interest or other lien for funded indebtedness on any asset subject to the Security Agreement (as hereinafter
defined) or permit any subsidiary to create any lien for funded indebtedness on any of such subsidiary’s assets other than (a) security interests and liens that are subordinate to those created under the Security Agreement on terms
reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (b) purchase money security interests incurred in connection with the acquisition of assets in a transaction otherwise not prohibited hereunder
or (c) in the case of liens on assets of a subsidiary, all such liens granted after the date hereof do not secure indebtedness in an aggregate amount of $50,000 or more for each such subsidiary.

 4.10.1 If all principal and interest on the Notes is not paid by the Company by the date which is six months after the issuance date of
the Notes (the “Six Month Anniversary”), then within five Business Days after the earlier of (a) the first anniversary of the issuance date of the Notes (the “First Anniversary”) and (b) the date on which
all principal and interest on the Notes is duly paid by the Company, the Company shall issue to the holders of the Notes, on a pro rata basis, based on the original principal amount of the Notes issued to such holder or such holder’s
transferor, warrants to purchase an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock equal to (x) if all principal and interest on such Notes has not been paid by the First Anniversary, a number of shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying
(A)125,000 times (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of all Notes issued pursuant to this Agreement and the denominator is $2,000,000 (such product is hereinafter referred to as the “Warrant
Number”), or (y) if all principal and interest on such Notes is paid after the Six Month Anniversary but on or prior to the First Anniversary, the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Warrant Number times 

  

 17 








 
a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days after the Six Month Anniversary which have elapsed until all principal and interest on the Notes
have been duly paid by the Company and the denominator is 182. 
 4.10.2 If all principal and interest on the Notes is not
paid by the Company by the First Anniversary, then in addition to the warrants to be issued pursuant to Section 4.10.1, within five Business Days after the earlier of (a) the date which is 18 months after the issuance date of the Notes
(the “18 Month Anniversary”) and (b) the date on which all principal and interest on the Notes is duly paid by the Company, the Company shall issue to the holders of the Notes, on a pro rata basis, based on the original
principal amount of the Notes issued to such holder or such holder’s transferor, warrants to purchase an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock equal to (x) if all principal and interest on such Notes has not been paid by the 18 Month
Anniversary, the Warrant Number or (y) if all principal and interest on such Notes is paid after the First Anniversary, but on or prior to the 18 Month Anniversary, the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Warrant Number times a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days after the First Anniversary which have elapsed until all principal and interest on the Notes have been duly paid by the Company and the denominator is 182. The warrants issuable pursuant to
Section 4.10.1 and this Section 4.10.2 are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Additional Warrants.” All Additional Warrants shall be in the same form as the Warrants, except that (A) the exercise period
shall be for three years commencing on the date of issuance thereof and (B) the exercise price shall be the lower of (1) the exercise price of the Warrants issued at the Closing or (2) the lowest consideration per share at which the
Company issues Additional Stock between the Closing Date and the date of issuance of the Additional Warrants. For purposes hereof, the term Additional Stock shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Section 4(d) of the Warrants.

 ARTICLE V 
 LEGEND REMOVAL,
TRANSFER, CERTAIN SALES, ADDITIONAL SHARES 
 5.1 Removal of Legend. The Legend shall be removed and the Company shall issue a
certificate without such Legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is stamped, and a certificate for a security shall be originally issued without the Legend, if, (a) the sale of such Security is registered under the Securities Act,
(b) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions and reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel (the reasonable cost of which
shall be borne by the Company if, after six months, neither an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or Rule 144 is available in connection with such sale) to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be
made without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements or (c) such Security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 and the holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that the
Security can be so sold without restriction. The Company 

  

 18 








 
may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in
this Section. Each Purchaser agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the Legend has been removed, or which were originally issued without the Legend, in compliance with an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act. In the event the Legend is removed from any Security or any Security is issued without the Legend and the Security is to be disposed of other than pursuant to a registration statement or pursuant to
Rule 144, then prior to, and as a condition to, such disposition such Security shall be relegended as provided herein in connection with any disposition if the subsequent transfer thereof would be restricted under the Securities Act. Also, in
the event the Legend is removed from any Security or any Security is issued without the Legend and thereafter the effectiveness of a registration statement covering the resale of such Security is suspended or the Company determines that a supplement
or amendment thereto is required by applicable securities laws, then upon reasonable advance notice to Purchaser holding such Security, the Company may require that the Legend be placed on any such Security that cannot then be sold pursuant to an
effective registration statement or Rule 144 or with respect to which the opinion referred to in clause (b) next above has not been rendered, which Legend shall be removed when such Security may be sold pursuant to an effective registration
statement or Rule 144 or such holder provides the opinion with respect thereto described in clause (b) next above. 
 5.2
Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under Section 5.1, it will, no later than ten (10) days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the
Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Warrant Shares issued with a restrictive legend (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such
Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends, registered in the name of each Purchaser or its nominee for the Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that no instruction other than such instructions referred to in this
ARTICLE V, and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2.6 hereof, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company.
Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way each Purchaser’s obligations and agreement set forth in Section 5.1 hereof to resell the Securities in compliance with an exemption from the registration requirements of applicable securities
laws. If (a) a Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, which opinion of counsel shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions and reasonably satisfactory to the Company and
its counsel (the reasonable cost of which shall be borne by the Company if, after six months, neither an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or Rule 144 is available in connection with such sale), to the effect that the
Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration or (b) a Purchaser transfers Securities to an affiliate which is an accredited investor (within the meaning of Regulation D under
the Securities Act) and which delivers to the Company in written form the same representations, warranties and covenants made by the Purchasers hereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the
Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in such name 

  

 19 








 
and in such denomination as specified by such Purchaser. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable
harm to a Purchaser by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this ARTICLE V will be inadequate and agrees, in
the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this ARTICLE V, that a Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate
issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

 8.8 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and assigns. Neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall assign this Agreement or
any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Purchaser may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any of its “affiliates,” as that term is defined under the
Securities Act, without the consent of the Company so long as such affiliate is an accredited investor (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement. This provision shall not
limit each Purchaser’s right to transfer the Securities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or to assign such Purchaser’s rights hereunder to any such transferee. In that regard, if a Purchaser sells all or part of its Securities to
someone that acquires the Securities subject to restrictions on transferability (other than restrictions, if any, arising out of the transferee’s status as an affiliate of the Company), Purchaser shall be permitted to assign its rights
hereunder, in whole or in part, to such transferee. 
 8.9 Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person. 
 8.10 Survival; Indemnification. The representations and warranties of the Company and the agreements and covenants shall survive the closing hereunder notwithstanding any due diligence investigation conducted
by or on behalf of Purchaser. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser and each Purchaser’s officers, directors, employees, partners, agents and affiliates from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim or proceeding, pending or threatened and
the costs of enforcement thereof) (collectively, “Losses”) arising as a result of or related to any breach or alleged breach by the Company of any of its representations or covenants set forth herein, including advancement of
expenses as they are incurred. The representations and warranties of the Purchasers shall survive the Closing hereunder and each Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its officers, directors, employees, partners, agents
and affiliates from and against any and all Losses arising as a result of or related to any breach of such Purchaser’s representations and warranties contained herein. 
 8.11 Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute
and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby.

 8.12 Remedies. No provision of this Agreement providing for any remedy to a Purchaser shall limit
any remedy which would otherwise be available to such Purchaser at law or in equity. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit any rights a Purchaser may have under any applicable federal or state securities laws with respect to the investment
contemplated hereby. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Purchaser. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a material breach of its obligations under
this Agreement will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Agreement, that a Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction
restraining any breach and requiring immediate compliance, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. 
 8.13 Final Agreement. This Agreement, when executed by the parties hereto, shall constitute the final agreement between the parties and upon such execution Purchasers and the Company accept the terms hereof and
have no cause of action against each other for prior negotiations preceding the execution of this Agreement.
